RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

[wangkevin02]

When running the code on a single machine with multiple GPUs, I encountered an error, whether using DeepSpeed ZeRO or ZeRO-3. Specifically, the error occurred when initializing the distributed model using Accelerate, resulting in a recursive error. For context, I used Llama3 as both the critic model and policy model, aiming simply to run the entire code end-to-end.

Code Modifications

I only made changes to a portion of the data preprocessing code and did not alter the model class code.

Troubleshooting Steps Tried

I attempted to resolve the issue by changing the DeepSpeed version, but this did not resolve the problem.

我也遇到了同样的问题，可能是deepspeed版本的问题
